Abstract

In this paper, an attempt has been made to provide a comprehensive perspective of the integrative approaches and frameworks. For this purpose, the subjects of lean and Six Sigma have been demonstrated separately and compared, and then their integration approaches and frameworks have been studied and discussed. The outcomes imply that integrating lean and Six Sigma creates a win-win situation. The combination of both can provide the philosophy and the effective tools to solve problems and create rapid transformational improvement at lower cost. Potentially, this could increase efficiency and effectiveness, which in turn leads to higher performance.
